Bridging Families

Known for its scenic lagoons, recreational trails, and thoughtfully planned neighborhoods, Foster City is a quiet yet vibrant community where structure, safety, and family values are deeply rooted. For families experiencing custody transitions or navigating co-parenting challenges, the need for neutral, professional support becomes especially important. Whether court-mandated or voluntarily arranged, supervised visitation can help ease the emotional burden of separation and ensure that children maintain safe, consistent contact with both parents. Bridging Families proudly offers professional supervised visitation and monitored exchange services in Foster City and across San Mateo County, helping families remain connected in a secure and court-compliant environment.

We understand that every custody situation is different—some are marked by conflict or past safety concerns, while others simply require added structure and oversight to support a stable parenting plan. Our team is trained to approach each case with professionalism, compassion, and neutrality. Whether your family is beginning a new visitation schedule or continuing long-term monitoring, we’re here to provide the tools and environment needed to make these transitions safe, respectful, and child-centered.

All Bridging Families visitation monitors are fully compliant with the standards outlined in California Family Code §3200.5 and Judicial Council Standard 5.20. This includes at least 24 hours of specialized training in child development, trauma-informed care, domestic violence response, cultural awareness, and legal compliance. In addition to training, all providers are Live Scan fingerprinted and registered with TrustLine, California’s trusted screening database for child-focused professionals. These measures ensure that every visit or exchange is handled with care, legal integrity, and a strong focus on child safety.

In Foster City, we offer a range of flexible supervised visitation options to meet the needs of diverse families. Supervised visits can be arranged in public, neutral locations such as community parks, libraries, or family-friendly spaces. For high-conflict or no-contact custody arrangements, we also offer monitored custody exchanges—allowing children to transition between parents without direct contact or confrontation. If distance, health needs, or travel challenges are present, we also provide virtual supervised visitation using secure, court-accepted video platforms, all while maintaining the same legal standards and documentation protocols as in-person services.

Every supervised visit or exchange is closely monitored and documented by our trained professionals. We provide detailed observation notes that can be made available to attorneys, family court personnel, or mediators as needed. This transparency supports legal compliance, provides insight for custody reviews, and helps create a consistent record of the child’s experience and interaction with the noncustodial parent. Our team also works in coordination with legal professionals, therapists, and other support providers to ensure services are tailored to the family’s unique needs.
